Ainosuke pulled a small box out from a bag and slid it across his desk to Tadashi. "Here."

Tadashi very carefully picked up the plain white box and lifted the lid to find an absolutely decadent chocolate cake sitting inside, with Happy Birthday written across the top in silvery-white icing. He sucked in a deep breath. "Ainosuke-sama?"

Ainosuke smirked. "Nothing but the best for my dog. I hope you enjoy it."

Tadashi closed the lid and held the box close, fighting to keep his happiness from showing on his face—well, showing too much. "Yes, Ainosuke-sama."
